Additional roads closed due to high water and washouts
Several more roads in the northern part of St. Louis County have been closed due to washouts and high water.
A portion of Heritage Trail (County State Aid Highway 20) near McKinley has been closed after a culvert failure caused the surrounding gravel to wash away, leaving the paved surface suspended with no support beneath. The road is closed between Jack Pine Lane and Red Wood Lane.
Two roads near Orr have also been closed due to damage from excessive water runoff. These include County Road 422 between Kallio Road and Niles Bay Forest Road; and Range Line Road between Willow River road and Nett Lake Road.
Repairs on all of these are expected to be made by early in the week.
This is in addition to three roads announced closed yesterday due to culvert failures and flooding. Temporarily closed are County Road 65 , approximately 1.2 miles west of State Highway 73 near Side Lake; King Road in Orr; and County Road 535 in Greaney.
St. Louis County Public Works crews continue to monitor road conditions following this weekend's heavy rain, and have posted signs to warn motorists of roads with standing water. Anyone who sees unsafe road conditions is asked to call 911.
